Got them from this crowd.

Delivery took ages - I got the feeling they went out and bought them when they got an order! Also one of the polishes I ordered was out of stock and they substituted a poxy bottle of hand cream in its place. Ehh I don't think so. Ill be following them for a refund.

I spotted this girl on ebay last nite

Has anyone tried the new Model Owns Beetle Juice collection?

chickenbutt · 06-12-2011 7:24pm

I ordered a few things from Butter London and this is the first one I tried. Really love it more than I thought I would! I think it goes well as a Christmassy green, too

China Glaze Fairy Dust over Barry M Indigo. Love Fairy Dust. I think it would look nicer on one finger rather than all five though.

Two coats of Indigo and one coat of Fairy Dust.

That is so twinkly & beautiful PB, looks like a starry night

Cherry Blossom Girl · 06-12-2011 11:09pm

I have that too PB I love it! I've actually been looking for a nice dark blue for under it, might try that one it looks nice!

I love these two together i always do it for a simple quick sparkle. In lanzarote at the mo and snagged 7 polishes. One being essence pixie dust a magnetic gold. Thanks for the tip Audrey L otherwise I wouldn't have looked. Also spotted some of their stamping plates so I will hunt some down and see are any worth buyimg!

chickenbutt · 07-12-2011 6:43pm

Butter London's Rosie Lee is on my toes right now.. It's very pretty but it's sooo gritty!

Twee. · 07-12-2011 8:12pm

I was jealous of everyone's glittery festive nails so I had to do my own. I should be studying!! But anyway, this is Essie Chinchilly with Urban Outfitters Afterhours. Super glittery with just one coat. Cost €8.

Novella · 07-12-2011 8:44pm

Today I bought Barry M in Strawberry Icecream. I can't find any pics of it online that I think do it justice so when I paint my nails with it, I'll upload one.

Anyway, if you spend over 9 euro on Barry M in Boots, you get a really nice, glittery nail varnish free. That was my incentive for buying in the first place! I only went into Boots to pick up a prescription! :pac:

BL's Tart with a Heart (really should have been called Fairy Lights, they mixed those 2 up!). And this is my own pic for once! lol sorry its blurry. It's just as gritty as Rosie Lee. even with a top coat it feel a bit rough to me... but still gorgeous! (yeah I went a bit manic on Butter London polishes - never had any until now!)

It's good!

I painted my nails with Strawberry Icecream last night and used the glitter on one nail as an accent. It goes on nice and evenly, and there's lots of glitter. You wouldn't even need a colour under it, it does cover up your whole nail.

(I'm not a fan of Strawberry Icecream though! The pale pink is just too girlie for me so I took it off tonight. As with all glitter polishes, this one is hard to get off!)

Bought another one as well but not 100% sure of the name.

Valentina · 12-12-2011 6:22pm

ASOS made a mistake on my last order and as a result I have a spare bottle of Barry M Peach Melba. If anyone wants it PM me. I'll post it to anywhere in Ireland.

i ended up buying the ice cream purple and the red glitter so i could get the free silver glitter

if it went out of stock i would have been kicking myself and your post made me want it all the more

chickenbutt · 12-12-2011 8:22pm

Butter London's All Hail the Queen. This isn't my pic, and on me it isn't as sparkly as in this picture, but it is overcast today so maybe that is why I don't see it so much! Also, this one is call All Hail the Queen but I sometimes see it is also called All Hail the McQueen.

Stench Blossoms · 14-12-2011 8:52am

This was the other polish I purchased.

OPI - Russian Navy

Seren_ · 14-12-2011 9:44pm

I ordered the Models Own Beetlejuice collection from their website ages ago, and it finally came today! It took like five weeks to come (xmas rush I suppose), so just a warning to anyone thinking of ordering from there. It did come in a lovely box though! I ordered the box set, which meant I got a free top/base coat.

I've the five polishes on at the minute - Emerald Black is GORGEOUS! Really like Pinky Brown, Aqua Violet, and Golden Green too, but I'm not that gone on Purple Blue tbh. It looks amazing in the bottle, but it's not really that nice on.

I tried to take a pic of my hand with my webcam, but it couldn't pick up the colours properly, so I'm going to post a link to this review from Vampy Varnish. Loads of pretty pictures there! A few too many for me to post though

angeldelight · 14-12-2011 11:41pm

My first time experimenting with any kind of nail art so I kept it extremely simple! Used a black Sally Hansen nail art pen for it

Gosh Nail Glitter 10 Blue Sapphire.
The picture doesn't do this stuff justice, it's fabulously sparkly. Very easy to use, I love it. Though at €6.99, it is a bit steep....

I cannot find Models Own Disco Mix anywhere. I am going insane!

I've actually never seen any of the Models Own glitter polishes in any of the stands in shops! They usually only ever have the same colours.

I looked on asos to see if they had Disco Mix and they do - Link. It comes with one of the nail art pens free. Asos are usually really quick with sending out make up too, I've got things in two days from them before!

Cupcake_Crisis · 15-12-2011 10:08pm

Got these done in USA Nails in tallaght this evening. Very happy with them!

Aw, thanks! I placed an Asos order 2 days ago and it was sold out then!

I've started doing Biosculpture nails - LOVE THEM! These are my own nails in No 19 Pillar box Red.

chickenbutt · 16-12-2011 3:14am

BL's Knees Up! Oh my gosh this color is so awesome. It's my perfect red. And it's great for Christmas! I can't stop looking at my nails.

I got a Deborah Lippmann nail polish in my Glossy Box.

http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/lippmanncollection_2184_586812

I love it - the colour is a pinkish red and it is maybe the nicest glitter I have ever tried. I never tried any of her polishes before but I am a fan now.

I think it is worth it though - I have stopped buying Catrice and Essence in favour of Gosh. The Gosh polishes last longer on me - several days longer.

They're gel nails that you cure under a UV lamp but they can removed by soaking in acetone unlike traditional gels. I find them much easier to use than EZ Flow or CND gels.

stargirl.gra · 17-12-2011 3:08pm

I'd said I'd try this for the hands as Sally HAnsen products seem to be the business. My badger balm is more of a night hand thing as it's very oily. This is fantastic especially for something to have in your handbag. I wear rings all the time and in lanzarote and because of my wrist issues the rings on my right hand started to itch as my hands and wrists are constantly swollen. As a result I had this big nasty red water mark under the rings all cracked and broken and itchy. Well I bought this stuff 2 nights ago and the mark (which I've had at least three weeks now) is fully healed. My hands feel normal and soft it's fab!!! €7 something in tesco!
